If the juice can crack a plastic tank, is it good for my Lungs?

[Keirster]

I have been steady vaping for 2 months now ( since I quit the stinkies 1/22 ) Have gotten great info in this forum for all my recent purchases from APV, to juice suppliers. I tend to like the fruity juices the best ( In love with Ecto Cooler ) but I keep reading that they will crack a plastic tank. One juice seller even has a list on their site of the juices that have cracked a tank.

So now I am wondering " If it can crack a tank, what is it doing to my lungs "

I am not looking for a medical explanation ( Although, that would be great ) I just wanted to know if there is more info about this or if anyone has had any problems.

It just isn't a health issue if you're using a Pyrex tank. If the juice in in polycarbonate and the plastic is dissolving in the liquid, toss the tank and the juice.

Two things to consider:

It's how the flavorings interact with plastic. Your lungs aren't made of plastic.

Putting orange juice in a plastic tank would produce the same end result. You drink orange juice without incident, don't you?

Cinnamon, heavy mints and menthols, and citrus vapes tend to etch, stain or crack plastic tanks. Only you can decide if your comfortable vaping any of these, all I can say is that there are many many fans of said flavors and the only one that I've ever read health issues about have been cinnamon, and mainly due to allergic reactions. If you use glass tanks you wont have any problems, there are many options in the market now for these.

Third thing to consider:

Veggie oil is plastic friendly yet some cooks are concerned that cooking emissions could damage lungs.

Consider coffee and coke will take paint off a metal surface if you let it sit.

Should you drink it?

Well with Coke anyway (and I say this as I drink one)

there is quite a debate on that as well

Great points by all, thank you for the answers. You have assuaged my fears.

Now I m going to stop drinking Coke and Coffee

Speaking only for myself I think it would be silly for me to believe that anything besides pollutant free air would be "good" for my lungs. However I continue to vape madly away as I'm equally convinced that compared to my former smoking habit the effects are negligible.
Others mileage may vary of course....
